Jumping Crocodile Cruise

Without a doubt, the Jumping Crocodile Cruise is one of the things you can't miss in Kakadu. We're talking about saltwater crocodiles (also called estuary crocodiles) and lovingly called "salties" in Australia. Normal crocodiles, like the ones in the Nile, only live in fresh water but these massive Australian beasts also live and swim in the ocean. They can often appear in coastal estuaries but their favorite habitat is the coastal rivers. The one catch is that humans are not off the menu for these enormous reptiles and attacks are more frequent than we'd like the think. Your best bet is to pay attention to the warnings you can see in the river areas.

This is a boat ride on the River Adelaide. One of the guys who was on the boat pulled out a fishing road with a piece of meat tied to one end and threw it into the river. After a while, a crocodile was jumping up and trying to take the piece of food, but the man kept pulling it away so the crocodile would jump higher and higher. We looked at the guide and he told us that if we fell into the water, it was best to not try to escape the crocodiles because the only thing we would do is die exhausted. So the man whistled to the pilot and told us to get out the hell out of there, and he put the stick with the meat into the river.
